I love Snickerdoodles. I don't make them very often, but I love them, so when I found this recipe for Snickerdoodle Bars, I knew I had to make them. And since I needed something to take for a potluck, it was the perfect time to try them.

OK, the recipe means use an electric mixer, and I'll probably do that next time. This time I wasn't paying attention - and my husband was on the phone - so I ended up just mixing the batter up with a wooden spoon. It turned out fine, but I'll probably try the mixer next time just to see if it makes a difference. If nothing else, it will save my arm! The only other thing I changed is that I cut the sugar down just a bit, using 1 cup granulated instead of 1-1/4 cups. Yes, I know, cookies or bars are supposed to be sweet, but they don't always have to be so sweet.

Anyway, the batter is quite thick, so it takes a bit to spread it in the bottom of the pan and to drop it over the cinnamon filling - but it's worth it! (and maybe using a mixer will whip it up better and make it easier to spread? maybe) These are so yummy. You get the sweet cookie and cinnamon goodness of Snickerdoodles in a soft bar. The cinnamon sugar is just in the middle instead of on the outside, and the glaze adds just a little something extra.

I took these to share today, and I think they were a hit. I did manage to bring a couple home, but they didn't last long. Guess I'll have to make some more. Soon.

Where towels are for drying, and the white spoons don't go in the tomato sauce!

There's nothing like a home-cooked meal!

In this age of fast food and busy schedules, it seems almost a thing of the past. I have worked to find recipes which are not only good, but EASY! A lot of the recipes here can be prepared ahead of time. That way you can do the work when you have the time instead of waiting until the dinner hour when things seem to be most hectic. Most of these recipes use ingredients you should already have on hand. So check your pantry and GET COOKING!!

I really enjoy cooking, and I'm always trying and modifying new recipes. Most of the recipes on this site are ones that I have changed - either to suit my tastes or to use the ingredients I have on hand. All the recipes here are ones that I really like. There are so many recipes in the world that there is just no excuse for using one twice if it's not something you really enjoy. Now, whether the rest of the family enjoys them or not is another story, but I try to add special notes about who likes what.

I must admit that this site is also a way to keep track of the recipes that I really like. Haven't you had that recipe you really liked, but then you couldn't find it the next time you wanted to use it? Well, I have, so when I make something I really like, I am going to add the recipe to this web site. Then I will always be able to find it, and you will be able to enjoy it too.

I usually read a recipe as a kind of 'suggestion' for how to make something. Even if I don't try them, I am always looking for new recipes. I read cookbooks for fun - especially the ones with good pictures! I hope you have fun visiting my kitchen, too!

Yes, I do get paid for some of my posts. Some are simple links, some information and reviews about sites and services. It's fun. It's easy. And I've found lots of interesting sites I wouldn't have known about otherwise - unless I read about it on someone else's blog! (for which they would have gotten paid instead of me)

Whether I'm getting paid or not, all opinions are 100% MINE. If this sounds like something you'd like to do - sign up at SocialSpark and you can start getting paid, too.

Paid posts are tagged with the date - example: 03/11, 04/11. It helps me keep track of them, and it's an easy way for you to see at a glance whether or not they're paid posts.
